Quote:
Early pioneers of Norwegian black metal, ULVER have continually evolved throughout their career and now stand as living legends of the dark music industry, blending rock, electronica, symphonic and chamber traditions along with noise and experimental music to create groundbreaking material.
Last year they released the critically acclaimed War Of The Roses album which was described by Zero Tolerance as ‘a quite beautiful record of startlingly powerful depth’. They return in April with Childhood’s End, a collection of classic psychedelic tracks recorded by the band in late 2011.
The album includes Ulver’s unique versions of tracks from The 13th Floor Elevators, Electric Prunes, Jefferson Airplane, The Pretty Things and more.
The Magic Hollow cover on the site seems decent to these ears!  |

| Blood Inside didn't click with me the way the others did either, so the post metal stuff might still be worth a go. Must dig out wars of the roses again, haven't listened to it in a while. |

I've only ever met one other person that enjoys 'Blood Inside' as much as I do. =\ I think it's great.
I didn't think much of the last album but I'm definitely looking forward to hearing this. |

Blood Inside was a bit of a non-event with me too, but really liked the Melancholia EP and the follow up album shadows of the sun.
Have not heard war of the Roses yet.
Saw them play most of these tunes on the new one during their set at Roadburn a few weeks ago. While it was interesting to see them pull of tunes by the likes of The Chocolate Watch Band, 13th Floor Elevators and Jefferson Airplane, the band had about as much presence and charisma on stage as loaf of stale bread and could not help getting a U2ish kinda vibe off them, despute the entirety of their set list consisting of tunes from the 60's |

strange, I love Blood Inside. Tracks like "In the Red" are just too cool.
That's the only album I like from them though...
Looking forward to this one anyway. |

I think Tore is in his late 40s so possibly... but yes, does all seem a bit indulgent but that's par for the course with these guys these days.
The last gig I saw this lot play (when they 'treated us' to the whole of the new album from start to finish) was mind-numbingly dull, infuriatingly self-regarding and nowhere near as envelope-pushing as they clearly thought it was. Think I'll stick with Bergtatt if it's all the same. |

| I wouldn't write of the Roadburn performance as pants. It was interesting, if a little pointless. Clearly all talented musicians etc etc, but their modern sound diluted the tunes a little. Wasn't helped by the bands lack of presence and the fact that Rygg was stood behind a large speaker/monitor thing and doing a Rob Lowe, clearly reading the lyrics from a book. They were clearly a bit pissed off by the crowd reaction too. The venue thinned out a good bit and they cut the set short by about 15 minutes or so. |

The impact the new guy has had on the band (forget his name) has been pretty massive musically, I think. Would want to watch his ideas dont take over altogether.
Though after extensive listening I do now think 'War of The Roses' is an absolute stormer. |

Daniel O'Sullivan? His work with Mothlite has definitely permeated the band, though they're releasing a new album and keeping active so I guess it's not like Ulver is his only outlet for that kind of thing. I assume that the other guys would curtail his influence to some extent. I agree on War of the Roses for sure though. |
